DevOps Maturity Model
From chaotic manual processes to optimized, self-healing systems.
The 5 Stages of Maturity
1
1. Initial (Chaotic)
Manual processes, siloed teams, 'hero' culture, frequent fires.
2
2. Managed
Project-based automation, some CI, beginning to track metrics.
3
3. Defined
Organization-wide standards, CI/CD pipelines, IaC adoption, proactive monitoring.
4
4. Measured
Data-driven improvement, automated security (DevSecOps), strong feedback loops.
5
5. Optimized
Self-healing systems, chaos engineering, focus on innovation over operations.
